Netflix subscribers can now download shows and movies to watch during a flight, when traveling by car, or for any other time when there is limited or no access to the internet (like the New York City subway).

The download option was announced Wednesday and a number of shows and movies were made instantly available, including "Breaking Bad," ''Narcos" and "Spotlight."

To download a show or movie, click the "down" arrow near the "play" button on the details page. Check out the example here:
